Flowerpots and window boxes for you planets found below this article
A flowerpot is any container (such as a pot) in which plants are cultivated. Terra cotta is often used to make flowerpots but they are also often made from plastic, wood, or stone. Sometimes there is a small hole in the bottom, which takes excess water away to a plate that is placed under flowerpot. The plant can use this water with its root system, as needed.
It is also known as a planter.
Through the centuries, the use of flowerpots has influenced the history of horticulture, which "blossomed" once people had the ability to move plants from one environment to another.The Egyptians were among the first to use pots this way. The Romans were the first to bring potted plants inside in cold weather. In the 1700s, pots allowed breadfruit seedlings to be transported from Tahiti to the West Indies, and geraniums made the journey from Africa to North America. Orchids and African violets have also traveled long distances in containers
A windowbox or window box is a container for growing plants usually positioned outside a window and supported in place by brackets on the wall below.
Window boxes are often used by apartment-dwellers on higher floors, who do not otherwise have access to a garden or place to grow flowers, and allow the plants to be readily seen by those inside the property as well as outside. A window box is usually only 6"-8" (15-20cm) deep so may not support tall plants. Access for planting and maintenance can be via the window from indoors.
